Quick question about the order of assembly of the weldless bulkhead / ball valves. Obviously the grooved locknut will not go over center of the close nipple, and I want to make sure I have enough thread for both the ball valve and the compression fitting (HLT). In your build, which side of the locknut is the center-line of the nipple on, the grooved side, or the opposite?

Thanks!

The locknut groved side faces the center of the nipple and the kettle wall.
Doublecheck the specific exploded view diagrams for the fitting you’re working on for a diagram.
Cheers and welcome to the forum!
